Perhaps try a different JDM distributor, like nengun or rhdjapan?

Rhdjapan is also stating a 2 month made to order lead time and nengun don't carry the EP558-EP559-SSM-PLUS.

My next track session is 4 months away so I can afford to wait.

+1 on Endless SSM+, same as oem performance for heavy canyon use. This is a pic of the front wheel after 50+ miles of hard canyon driving. Virtually dustless.

Good to know! I ended up ordering the ISWEEP 1500, because the Endless pads were a few months out. I'll probably get some Endless SSM+ or MX72 down the road though.

Just order from Blackhawkjapan.com. Due to the favorable Yen to USD exchange rate, quality brake pads are attractively priced when ordering from them vs US distributors.

Appreciate the tip.

Gazooing...at 50 miles they look very clean compared to my rims at 5 miles...At what miles do they start to show dust ?

I've driven over 150 miles on these and haven't washed the rims. Still waiting for it to be "dirty". There's certainly like normal dust from the pollution / water splashing on it maybe, but just no caking dust like before. Will report back though if I wait it out until it does...

 

[gazooing]

I'm between MX72 and MX72+. Would like to hear about the dust on those.

Was going to do those, but know those dust up for sure. More performance as well. But don't cake up like OEMs.

+100 on Black Hawk, very legit price and customer service.

Tbh not sure I'd use these on track where threshold braking constantly over and over. There's just no way they would not fade being they're dustless. I mean if dustless real track pads existed everyone would be using them I think.

I've ordered the Endless Super Street M-Sports Plus from Black HawkJapan a week ago and received an email today that states that they are order-made, and that it will take 1.5 months to manufacture them.

Did anyone else received something similar from Black Hawk Japan?

I got a similar message, and they shipped in about two weeks. They may actually be backed up that far, its always a possibility, but hopefully yours will ship sooner.

I just ordered same pads from them today and the email said ships in 3-10 days.

 

[Wsidr1]

Hmm. Gonna have to retract my post above with 3-10 day shipping I was originally quoted.

They emailed me today and said 6-8 weeks. Wanted to know if I wanted to cancel my order. I told them to proceed with my order.

+1. I just ordered and got the exact same result. I'm hoping it'll arrive sooner, and that they're just trying to under promise and over deliver.

Funny how that works sometimes. I've ordered bicycle and motorcycle stuff (including Michelin motorcycle tires) from the UK, because it's so much cheaper than buying it here in the US, even after shipping charges. It's truly a global economy.

Overnight I got a "Your order has shipped" email. My order was placed Apr 27th, so yeah, looks like under promise/overdeliver was the plan.

Heyyyyyy...I ordered on the 25th and I didn't get THAT email! Love is so unfair sometimes. 😭😭😭

 

[NuBieGRCorolla]

Mine was placed on 4/22?!

Same here and mine arrived today.

Just installed EBC Yellow stuff pads yesterday. Some dust evident following bed-in procedures, but much lower than OEM. Jury is still out on brake feel, because I changed from snow tires to 200 treadwear Summer tires.

 

[KanmuriDavid]

I ordered Endless MX72 pads today and was told the same thing about lead time. But at half the price of other vendors, I'm not complaining.

 

[ijuswannaride]

😭😭😭 I want my brake pads! Waiting until I get the Endless pads installed to do a thorough wheel cleaning.

Which part number are you all ordering? Looks like there is a RS, RC, and RZ. What’s the difference?
